Abstract

This invention is directed to Indazole Compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates and hydrates thereof. The Indazole Compounds have utility in the treatment or prevention of a wide range of diseases and disorders that are responsive to the inhibition, modulation or regulation of kinases, such as inflammatory diseases, abnormal angiogenesis and diseases related thereto, cancer, atherosclerosis, a cardiovascular disease, a renal disease, an autoimmune condition, macular degeneration, disease-related wasting, an asbestos-related condition, pulmonary hypertension, diabetes, obesity, pain and others. Thus, methods of treating or preventing such diseases and disorders are also disclosed, as are pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of the Indazole Compounds. This invention is based, in part, upon the discovery of a novel class of 5-triazolyl substituted indazole molecules that have potent activity with respect to the modulation of protein kinases. Thus, the invention encompasses orally active molecules as well as parenterally active molecules which can be used at lower doses or serum concentrations for treating diseses or disorders associated with protein kinase signal transduction.

Description

INDAZOLE COMPOUNDS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF AS PROTEIN KINASE INHIBITORS
This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application no. 60/608,929, filed November 19, 2003, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention is generally directed to novel compounds and their use in methods for treating or preventing diseases associated with protein kinases, including tyrosine kinases, such as inflammatory diseases, abnormal angiogenesis and diseases related thereto, cancer, atherosclerosis, macular degeneration, diabetes, obesity, pain and others. The methods comprise the administration to a patient in need thereof of a therapeutically effective amount of an indazole compound that inhibits, modulates or regulates one or more protein kinases. Novel indazole compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are presented herein.
2. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The protein kinases are a family of enzymes that catalyze protein phosphorylation and play a critical role in cellular signaling. Protein kinases may exert positive or negative regulatory effects, depending upon their target protein. Protein kinases can be divided into broad groups based upon the identity of the amino acid that they target (serine/threonine, tyrosine, lysine, and histidine). There are also dual-specific protein kinases that target both tyrosine and serine/threonine. Any particular cell contains many protein kinases - some phosphorylate other protein kinases - some phosphorylate many different proteins, others only a single protein. Not surprisingly, there are several classes of protein kinases. Protein kinases regulate nearly every cellular process, including metabolism, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell survival, and are attractive targets for therapeutic intervention for certain disease states. For example, cell-cycle control and angiogenesis, in which protein kinases play a pivotal role are cellular processes associated with numerous disease conditions such as cancer, inflammatory diseases, abnormal angiogenesis and diseases related thereto, atherosclerosis, macular degeneration, diabetes, obesity, pain and others. The tyrosine kinases can be ofthe receptor type (having extracellular, transmembrane and intracellular domains) or the non-receptor type (being wholly intracellular). For example, the non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase, LCK, is believed to mediate the transduction in T-cells of a signal from the interaction of a cell-surface protein (Cd4) with a cross-linked anti-Cd4 antibody. A detailed discussion of non- receptor tyrosine kinases is provided in Bolen, Oncogene, 8, 2025-2031 (1993). The non-receptor tyrosine kinases represent a group of intracellular enzymes which lack extracellular and transmembrane sequences. Currently over 32 families of non-receptor tyrosine kinases have been identified. Oncogene 19:5548-5557 (2000). Examples are Src, Btk, Csk, ZAP70, Kak families. In particular the Src family of non-receptor tyrosine kinase family is the largest consisting of Src, Yes, Fyn, Lyn, Lck, Blk, Hck, Fgr and Yrk protein tyrosine kinases. The Src family of kinases have been linked to oncogenesis, cell proliferation and tumor progression. Detailed discussion of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases is available in Oncogene 8:2025-2031 (1993). Many of these protein tyrosine kinases have been found to be involved in cellular signaling pathways involved in various pathological conditions including but not limited to cancer and hyperproliferative disorders and immune disorders. Small molecule inhibitors that modulate the activity of protein tyrosine kinases are useful for the prevention and treatment of above mentioned disease conditions have been identified. As such the identification of small molecule inhibitors which specifically inhibit signal transduction by modulating the activity of receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinases and serine/threonine kinases to regulate abnormal or inappropriate cell proliferation, differentiation, and angiogenesis process and processes leading to the development and promotion of cancer associated disorders would be beneficial. Protein kinases such as CHK1, which belongs to a family of serine/threonine protein kinases, play an important role as checkpoints in cell cycle progression. Checkpoints are control systems that coordinate cell cycle progression by influencing the formation, activation and subsequent inactivation ofthe cyclin-dependent kinases. Checkpoints prevent cell cycle progression at inappropriate times, maintain the metabolic balance of cells while the cell is arrested, and in some instances can induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) when the requirements ofthe checkpoint have not been met. See, e.g., O'Connor, Cancer Surveys, 29, 151-182 (1997); Nurse, Cell, 91, 865-867 (1997); Hartwell et al., Science, 266, 1821-1828 (1994); Hartwell et al., Science, 246, 629-634 (1989). CDKs constitute a class of enzymes that play critical roles in regulating the transitions between different phases ofthe cell cycle, such as the progression from a quiescent stage in Gi (the gap between mitosis and the onset of DNA replication for a new round of cell division) to S (the period of active DNA synthesis), or the progression from G2 to M phase, in which active mitosis and cell-division occur. See, e.g., the articles compiled in Science, vol. 274 (1996), pp. 1643-1677; and Ann. Rev. Cell Dev Biol, vol. 13 (1997), pp. 261-291. CDK complexes are formed through association of a regulatory cyclin subunit (e.g., cyclin A, Bl, B2, Dl, D2, D3, and E) and a catalytic kinase subunit (e.g., cdc2 (CDK1), CDK2, CDK4, CDK5, and CDK6). As the name implies, the CDKs display an absolute dependence on the cyclin subunit in order to phosphorylate their target substrates, and different kinase/cyclin pairs function to regulate progression through specific portions ofthe cell cycle. Emerging data provide strong validation for the use of compounds inhibiting CDKs, and CDK4 and CDK2 in particular, as anti-proliferative therapeutic agents and several small molecules have been identified as CDK inhibitors (for recent reviews, see Webster, "The Therapeutic Potential of Targeting the Cell Cycle," Exp. Opin. Invest. Drugs, vol. 7 (1998), pp. 865-887, and Stover, et al., "Recent advances in protein kinase inhibition: current molecular scaffolds used for inhibitor synthesis," Current Opinion in Drug Discovery and Development, Vol. 2 (1999), pp. 274-285). The p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (RSK) are serine/threonine kinases. The RSK family members have a role in mitogen-activated cell growth and proliferation, differentiation, and cell survival. The RSK family members are activated by extracellular signal-related kinases 1/2 and phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (Frodin, M., and Gammeltoft, S. (1999) Mol. Cell. Endocrinol 151, 65-77). Under basal conditions, RSK are localized in cytoplasm of cells and upon stimulation by mitogens, the activated (phosphorylated by extracellular-related kinase) RSK transiently traslocates to plasma membrane and become fully activated. The fully actiated RSK phosphorylates its substrates that are involved in cell growth and proliferation, differentiation, and cell survival (Richards, S. A., Fu, J., Romanelli, A., Shimamura, A., and Blenis, J. (1999) Curr. Biol. 9, 810-820; Richards, S. A., Dreisbach, V. C, Murphy, L. O., and Blenis, J. (2001) Mol. Cell. Biol. 21, 7470-7480). RSK signaling pathways have also been associated either modulation of cell cycle (Gross et al., J. Biol. Chem. 276(49): 46099- 46103, 2001). Current data suggests that small molecules inhibiting RSK may be useful therapeutic agents for the prevention and treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases.Other kinases such as AURORA, ROCK-II , Blk, GSK3α and β, p70S6K, PKCμ, PKD2, PRAK, and PRK2 have also been implicated in cellular processes. Aurora kinases are a family of multigene mitotic serine-threonine kinases that functions as a class of novel oncogenes. These kinase comprise auroa-A, aurora-B and aurora-B members. These are hyperactivated and/or over-expressed in several solid tumors including but not limited to breast, ovary, prostate, pancrease, and colorectal cancers. In particular aurora-A is centrosome kinase and its localization depends on the cell cycle and plays an important role cell cycle progression and cell proliferation. Aurora-A is located in the 20ql3 chromosome region that is frequently amplified in several different types of malignant tumors such as colorectal, breast and bladder cancers. There is a high correlation between aurora-A, high histo-prognostic grade, aneuploidy makes the kinase a potential prognostic factor. Inhibition of aurora kinase activity could help to reduce cell proliferation, tumor growth and potentially tumorigenesis. The detailed description of aurora kinase function is reviewed in Oncogene 21 :6175-6183 (2002). The Rho-associated coiled-coil-containing protein serine/threonine kinases ROCK-I and ROCK-II are thought to play a major role in cytoskeletal dynamics by serving as downstream effectors ofthe Rho/Rac family of cytokine- and growth factor-activated small GTPases. ROCKs phosphorylate various substrates, including myosin light chain phosphatase, myosin light chain, ezrin-radixin-moesin proteins and LLM (for Linl 1, Isll and Mec3) kinases, and mediate the formation of actin stress fibres and focal adhesions in various cell types. ROCKs are known to have an important role in cell migration by enhancing cell contractility. For instance, they are required for tail retraction of monocytes and cancer cells. By way of example, a ROCK inhibitor has been used to reduce tumour-cell dissemination in vivo. Moreover, recent experiments have defined new functions of ROCKs in cells, including centrosome positioning and cell-size regulation, which might contribute to various physiological and pathological states. A detailed review can be found in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 4, 446 -456 (2003). As such, the ROCK family members are attractive intervention targets for a variety of pathologies, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. A pharmaceutical agent containing Rho kinase inhibitory activity is a good therapeutic agent for hypertension, angina pectoris, a suppressive agent of cerebrovascular contraction, a therapeutic agent of asthma, a therapeutic agent of peripheral circulation disorder, a therapeutic agent of arteriosclerosis, an anti-cancer drug, an anti-inflammatory agent, an immunosuppressant, a therapeutic agent of autoimmune disease, an anti- AIDS drug, a therapeutic agent of osteoporosis, a therapeutic agent of retinopathy, a brain function improving drug, a prophylactic agent of immature birth, a contraceptive and a prophylactic agent of digestive tract infection. The 70 kDa ribosomal S6 kinase (p70S6K) is activated by numerous mitogens, growth factors and hormones. Activation of p70S6K occurs through phosphorylation at a number of sites and the primary target ofthe activated kinase is the 40S ribosomal protein S6, a major component ofthe machinery involved in protein synthesis in mammalian cells. In addition to its involvement in regulating translation, p70S6K activation has been implicated in cell cycle control, neuronal cell differentiation, regulation of cell motility and a cellular response that is important in tumour metastases, the immune response and tissue repair. Modulation of p70S6 kinase activity may have therapeutic implications for above mentioned deseases such as cancer, inflammation and immune and neuronal disorders. A detailed discussion can be found in Prog Cell Cycle Res. 1 :21-32 (1995), Immunol Cell Biol. 78(4):447-51 (2000). Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) are ubiquitously expressed constitutively active serine/threonine kinase that phosphorylates cellular substrates and thereby regulates a wide variety of cellular functions, including development, metabolism, gene transcription, protein translation, cytoskeletal organization, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. GSK-3 was initially described as a key enzyme involved in glycogen metabolism, but is now known to regulate a diverse array of cell functions. Two forms ofthe enzyme, GSK-3 alpha and GSK-3beta, have been previously identified. The activity of GSK-3beta is negatively regulated by protein kinase B/Akt and by the Wnt signaling pathway. Small molecules inhibitors of GSK-3 may, therefore, have several therapeutic uses, including the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes type II, bipolar disorders, stroke, cancer, and chronic inflammatory disease. See e.g., "Role of glycogen synthase kinase-3 in cancer: regulation by Wnts and other signaling pathways," A dv Cancer Res. 2002;84:203-29. GSK-3 inhibitors have been identified as new promising drugs for diabetes, neurodegeneration, cancer, and inflammation (Med Res Rev. 2002 Jul;22(4):373-84); Role of glycogen synthase kinase-3 in the phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Akt cell survival pathway. (J Biol Chem. 1998, 273(32): 19929-32). The protein kinase D family of enzymes consists of three isoforms: PKDl/PKCmu PKD2 and PKD3/PKCnu. They all share a similar architecture with regulatory sub-domains that play specific roles in the activation, translocation and function ofthe enzymes. The PKD enzymes have recently been implicated in very diverse cellular functions, including Golgi organization and plasma membrane directed transport, metastasis, immune responses, apoptosis and cell proliferation. Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are proline-directed serine/threonine kinases that are activated by dual phosphorylation on threonine and tyrosine residues in response to a wide array of extracellular stimuli. Three distinct groups of MAP kinases have been identified in mammalian cells: ERK, JNK, and P38. These three pathways are activated by phosphorylation in theonine and tyrosine by dual- specificity protein kinases, including tyrosine kinases such as growth factors. Moreover, such pathways have also been associated with modulation of cell-cycle progression. Targets ofthe Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway include the transcription factors c-jun and ATF2 (Whitmarsh A.J., and Davis R.J. J. Mol. Med. 74:589-607, 1996). Activation ofthe JNK pathway has been documented in a number of disease settings, providing the rationale for targeting this pathway for drug discovery. In addition, molecular genetic approaches have validated the pathogenic role of this pathway in several diseases. For example, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases arise from the over-activation ofthe immune system. Activated immune cells express many genes encoding inflammatory molecules, including cytokines, growth factors, cell surface receptors, cell adhesion molecules and degradative enzymes. Many of these genes are regulated by the JNK pathway, through activation ofthe transcription factors AP-1 and ATF-2, including TNFo; IL-2, E-selectin and matrix metalloproteinases such as collagenase-1 (Manning et al., Exp. Opin Invest. Drugs 6: 555-567, 1997). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) promote cartilage and bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis, and generalized tissue destruction in other autoimmune diseases. Inducible expression of MMPs, including MMP-3 and MMP-9, type LI and IV collagenases, are regulated via activation ofthe JNK pathway and AP-1 (Gum et al., Oncogene 14:1481-1493, 1997). The JNK pathway therefore regulates MMP expression in cells involved in rheumatoid arthritis. The JNK pathway leading to AP-1 also appears to play a critical role in cancer. For example, expression of c-jun is altered in early lung cancer and may mediate growth factor signaling in non-small cell lung cancer (Yin et al., J. Biol. Chem. 272:19943-19950, 1997). In addition to regulating c-jun production and activity, JNK activation can regulate phosphorylation of p53, and thus can modulate cell cycle progression (Chen et al., Mol. Carcinogenesis 15:215-226, 1996). Selective inhibition of JNK activation by a naturally occurring JNK inhibitory protein, called JIP- 1, blocks cellular transformation caused by BCR-ABL expression (Raitano et al., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci USA 92:11746-11750, 1995). Thus, JNK inhibitors may block transformation and tumor cell growth. The JNK pathway is activated by atherogenic stimuli and regulates local cytokine and growth factor production in vascular cells (Yang et al, Immunity, 9:575, 1998). In addition, alterations in blood flow, hemodynamic forces and blood volume lead to JNK activation in vascular endothelium, leading to AP-1 activation and pro- atherosclerotic gene expression (Aspenstrom et al., Curr. Biol. 6:10-11, 1996). Vascular disorders such as atherosclerosis and restenosis which result from dysregulated growth of the vessel wall, restricting blood flow to vital organs have also been associated with JNK deregulation. The involvement of JNK in insulin mediated diseases such as Type II diabetes and obesity has also been confirmed (Hirosumi, J. et al. Nature 420:333-336, 2002; International Publication No. WO 02/085396). Without being limited by theory, it is thought that phosphorylation at Ser 307 of insulin receptor substrate ("IRS-1") is responsible for TNF-a-induced and FFA-induced insulin resistance (Hotamisigil, G.H. Science 271:665-668, 1996). In addition to their role in cell-cycle control, protein kinases also play a crucial role in angiogenesis. When required, the vascular system has the potential to generate new capillary networks in order to maintain the proper functioning of tissues and organs, including the process of wound healing and neovascularization ofthe endometrium during menstruation. See Merenmies et al., Cell Growth & Differentiation, 8, 3-10 (1997). However, angiogenesis is also associated with numerous diseases, such as retinopathies, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, age-related macular degeneneration, and cancer (solid tumors). Folkman, Nature Med., 1, 27-31 (1995). Protein kinases which have been shown to be involved in the angiogenic process include VEGF-R2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, also know as KDR (kinase insert domain receptor) and as FLK-1); FGF-R (fibroblast growth factor receptor); and TEK (also known as Tie-2), all of which are members ofthe growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase family. VEGF-R2 binds the potent angiogenic growth factor VEGF and mediates the subsequent signal transduction through activation of its intracellular kinase activity. Inhibition ofthe kinase activity of VEGF-R2 results in the reduction of angiogenesis even in the presence of exogenous VEGF (see Strawn et al., Cancer Research, 56, 3540-3545 (1996)), as has been shown with mutants of VEGF-R2 which fail to mediate signal transduction. Millauer et al., Cancer Research, 56, 1615- 1620 (1996). Similarly, FGF-R binds the angiogenic growth factors aFGF and bFGF and mediates subsequent intracellular signal transduction. Growth factors such as bFGF may play a critical role in inducing angiogenesis in solid tumors that have reached a certain size. Yoshiji et al., Cancer Research, 57, 3924-3928 (1997). Systemic administration of a small molecule inhibitor ofthe kinase activity of FGF-R has been reported to block hFGF-induced angiogenesis in mice without apparent toxicity. Mohammad et al., EMBO Journal, 17, 5996-5904 (1998). TEK (also known as Tie-2) has been shown to play a role in angiogenesis. TEK interaction with factor angiopoietin-1 results a signal transduction process that facilitates the maturation of newly formed blood vessels. The TEK interaction with factor angiopoietin-2, on the other hand, disrupts angiogenesis. Maisonpierre et al., Science, 277, 55-60 (1997). As such, VEGF-R2, FGF-R, and/or TEK are considered therapeutic targets for treatment of various disease states. For example, WTPO International Publication No. WO 97/34876 discloses certain cinnoline derivatives that are inhibitors of VEGF-R2, which may be used for the treatment of disease states associated with abnormal angiogenesis and/or increased vascular permeability such as cancer, diabetes, psoriosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Kaposi's sarcoma, haemangioma, acute and chronic nephropathics, atheroma, arterial restinosis, autoimmune diseases, acute inflammation and ocular diseases with retinal vessel proliferation. In addition to the protein kinases identified above, many other protein kinases have been considered to be therapeutic targets, and numerous publications disclose inhibitors of kinase activity, as reviewed in the following: McMahon et al., Current Opinion in Drug Discovery & Development, 1, 131-146 (1998); Strawn et al., Exp. Opin. Invest. Drugs, 7, 553-573 (1998). In general, the class of compounds known as "indazoles" is well known. More specifically, an "indazole" is a compound containing a fused, bicyclic ring system having the following structure:
Figure imgf000010_0001
Compounds ofthe above structure are typically referred to as "lH-indazole" due to the presence ofthe hydrogen atom at the 1 -position. EP Patent Application 0494 774 Al discloses compounds ofthe following structure:

Such receptors exhibit selective vasoconstrictor activity, and the agonists of this published application are purported to have utility in the treatment of migraine, cluster headache, chronic paraxysmal hemicrania and headaches associated with vascular disorders. IH-indazoles have also been made for synthetic and mechanistic studies, and as intermediates in the synthesis of other potential therapeutics.

There remains a need for other small-molecule compounds that may be readily synthesized and can act as protein kinase modulators, regulators or inhibitors that „ have beneficial activity on multiple kinases as well as selective kinase inhibitors; each presents a beneficial albeit distinct approach to disease treatment. In addition, there is a need for pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of such protein kinase modulators, regulators or inhibitors, as well as for methods for treating diseases in animals which are responsive to such compounds.

4. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As mentioned above, this invention is generally directed to novel compounds and their use in methods for treating or preventing diseases associated with protein kinases, including tyrosine kinases, such as inflammatory diseases, abnormal angiogenesis and diseases related thereto, cancer, atherosclerosis, macular degeneration, diabetes, obesity, stroke, ischemia, trauma, pain and others. In addition, some of these compounds can be used as active agents against solid tumors, malignant ascites, hematopoitic cancers, hyperproliferative disorders such as thyroid hyperplasia, the cysts (such as hypervascularity of ovrian stroma characteristic of polycystic ovarian syndrome) since such diseases require proliferation of blood vessels cells and associated cells for growth and metastasis. It is envisaged that the disorders listed above are mediated to a significant extent by protein tyrosine kinase activity involving enzymes listed above. By inhibiting the activity of one or more protein tyrosine kinases simultaneously, the progression of the above disorders can be inhibited because these diseases require the activity of these protein kinases. Furthermore several of these diseases are dependent on the active proliferation of cells and angiogenesis. By inhibiting the related protein tyrosine kinases more than one simultaneously provides a more effective method of treating the disease than inhibiting one specific kinase because rarely any disease state is solely dependent on one specific kinase. The compounds in this invention have inhibitory activity against a variety of protein kinases. These compounds modulate signal transduction of protein kinases. Compounds of this invention inhibit a variety of families of protein kinases. In particular, these compounds are capable of targeting kinases include but not limited to Aurora-A, Blk, CDK1, CDK2, CDK3, CDK5, CDK6, CHK1, CHK2, the Src family of kinases, cSrc, Yes, Fyn, Lck, Fes, , Lyn, Syk, , FGF-R3, GSK3a, GSK3b, MAPK family including JNK, MEK, p70S6K, PKCmu, PKD2, PRAK, PRK2, ROCK-II, RSKl, RSK2, RSK3. 4.1 DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS The terms used herein having following meaning: The term "Cι-C6 alkyl" as used herein refers to a straight or branched chain, saturated hydrocarbon having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.

An Indazole Compound can be in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. " The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable salt," as used herein, refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic acid or base salt of an Indazole Compound. Representative pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, e.g., alkali metal salts, alkali earth salts, ammonium salts, water-soluble and water-insoluble salts, such as the acetate, amsonate (4,4-diaminostilbene-2, 2 -disulfonate), benzenesulfonate, benzonate, bicarbonate, bisulfate, bitartrate, borate, bromide, butyrate, calcium, calcium edetate, camsylate, carbonate, chloride, citrate, clavulariate, dihydrochloride, edetate, edisylate, estolate, esylate, fiunarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glutamate, glycollylarsanilate, hexafluorophosphate, hexylresorcinate, hydrabamine, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, hydroxynaphthoate, iodide, isothionate, lactate, lactobionate, laurate, malate, maleate, mandelate, mesylate, methylbromide, methylnitrate, methylsulfate, mucate, napsylate, nitrate, N-methylglucamine ammonium salt, 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate (l,l-methene-bis-2-hydroxy-3-naphthoate, einbonate), pantothenate, phosphate/diphosphate, picrate, polygalacturonate, propionate, p-toluenesulfonate, salicylate, stearate, subacetate, succinate, sulfate, sulfosaliculate, suramate, tannate, tartrate, teoclate, tosylate, triethiodide, and valerate salts. Furthermore, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt can have more than one charged atom in its structure. In this instance the pharmaceutically acceptable salt can have multiple counterions. Hence, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt can have one or more charged atoms and/or one or more counterions. As used herein, the term "isolated and purified form" means that when isolated (e.g., from other components of a synthetic organic chemical reaction mixture), the isolate contains at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95% or at least 98% of an Indazole Compound by weight of the isolate. In one embodiment, the isolate contains at least 95% of an Indazole Compound by weight ofthe isolate. As used herein, the terms "prevent", "preventing" and "prevention" refer to the prevention ofthe onset, recurrence or spread ofthe disease in a patient resulting from the administration of a prophylactic or therapeutic agent. As used herein, the term "prodrug" means a derivative of a compound that can hydrolyze, oxidize, or otherwise react under biological conditions (in vitro or in vivo) to provide an active compound, particularly an Indazole Compound. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, derivatives and metabolites of an Indazole Compound that include biohydrolyzable groups such as biohydrolyzable amides, biohydrolyzable esters, biohydrolyzable carbamates, biohydrolyzable carbonates, biohydrolyzable ureides, and biohydrolyzable phosphate analogues (e.g., monophosphate, diphosphate or triphosphate). Preferably, prodrugs of compounds with carboxyl functional groups are the lower alkyl esters ofthe carboxylic acid. The carboxylate esters are conveniently formed by esterifying any ofthe carboxylic acid moieties present on the molecule. Prodrugs can typically be prepared using well-known methods, such as those described by Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery 6th ed. (Donald J. Abraham ed., 2001, Wiley) and Design and Application of Prodrugs (H. Bundgaard ed., 1985, Harwood Academic Publishers Gmfh). As used herein, the terms "treat", "treating" and "treatment" refer to the eradication or amelioration ofthe disease or symptoms associated with the disease. In certain embodiments, such terms refer to minimizing the spread or worsening ofthe disease resulting from the administration of one or more prophylactic or therapeutic agents to a patient with such a disease. The Indazole Compound can also exist in various isomeric forms, including configurational, geometric and conformational isomers, as well as existing in various tautomeric forms, particularly those that differ in the point of attachment of a hydrogen atom. As used herein, the term "isomer" is intended to encompass all isomeric forms of an Indazole Compound, including tautomeric forms ofthe compound. Certain Indazole Compounds may have asymmetric centers and therefore exist in different enantiomeric and diastereomeric forms. An Indazole Compound can be in the form of an optical isomer or a diastereomer. Accordingly, the invention encompasses Indazole Compounds and their uses as described herein in the form of their optical isomers, diasteriomers and mixtures thereof, including a racemic mixture. Optical isomers ofthe Indazole Compounds can be obtained by known techniques such as asymmetric synthesis, chiral chromatography, simulated moving bed technology or via chemical separation of stereoisomers through the employment of optically active resolving agents. As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term "stereoisomer" or "stereomerically pure" means one stereoisomer of a compound that is substantially free of other stereoisomers of that compound. For example, a stereomerically pure compound having one chiral center will be substantially free ofthe opposite enantiomer ofthe compound. A stereomerically pure a compound having two chiral centers will be substantially free of other diastereomers ofthe compound. A typical stereomerically pure compound comprises greater than about 80% by weight of one stereoisomer ofthe compound and less than about 20% by weight of other stereoisomers of the compound, more preferably greater than about 90% by weight of one stereoisomer ofthe compound and less than about 10% by weight ofthe other stereoisomers ofthe compound, even more preferably greater than about 95% by weight of one stereoisomer ofthe compound and less than about 5% by weight ofthe other stereoisomers ofthe compound, and most preferably greater than about 97% by weight of one stereoisomer ofthe compound and less than about 3% by weight ofthe other stereoisomers ofthe compound. It should be noted that if there is a discrepancy between a depicted structure and a name given that structure, the depicted structure controls. In addition, if the stereochemistry of a structure or a portion of a structure is not indicated with, for example, bold or dashed lines, the structure or portion ofthe structure is to be interpreted as encompassing all stereoisomers of it. The following abbreviations are used herein and have the indicated definitions: DHP is dihydroypyran; DIAD is diethylazodicarboxylate; Et3N is triethylamine; EtOH is ethanol; MeOH is methanol; MS is mass spectrometry; NMR is nuclear magnetic resonance; PPh3 is triphenylphosphine; THF is tetrahydrofuran; THP is tetrahydropyranyl; and p-TsOH is para-toluene sulfonic acid. 4.2 THE INDAZOLE COMPOUNDS OFTHE INVENTION 4.2.1 THE INDAZOLE COMPOUNDS OF FORMULA (I) In one embodiment, the invention provides Indazole Compounds having the Formula (I):

To that end, the Indazole Compounds can be made according to the following Schemes 1 through 5 (it should be noted that, in the following reaction schemes, hydrogen atoms are sometimes not depicted and that one skilled in the art of organic chemistry would appreciate such accepted shorthand notation). Scheme 1 illustrates a method for making the 5-cyano indazole C, which is a useful intermediate for making the Indazole Compounds. Scheme 1
Figure imgf000050_0001
Commercially available 5-Aminoindazole (A) is converted to it's 5-nitro derivative using sodium nitrate in acidic media. The 5-nitro intermediate is then converted to the 5-CN intermediate B upon treatment with sodium cyanide in the presence of copper(II) cyanide. Compound B is then brominated in the 3-position and protected as its 1-N-THP derivative C using DHP and catalytic p-TsOH. Scheme 2 shows a method useful for making Indazole Derviatives of Formula (II) wherein R3 is -O-(CH2)n- N(R4)2, -O-(CH2)n-heterocycle, or -O-(CH2)n- cycloalkyl).

wherein R1 is as defined above for the Indazole Compounds of Formula (II) and Ra is -(CH2)n-N(R4)2, -(CH2)n-heterocycle, or -(CH2)n-cycloalkyl. Commercially available 6-bromo-2-naphthol (D) is converted to the ether derivatives of formula E by either treating the alkoxide of D with an electrophile of formula Ra-Cl, or via a Mitsunobu coupling of D with a hydroxy compound of formula RaOH in the presence of DIAD and triphenylphosphine. The compounds of formula E can be converted to their boronic acid or ester derviatives, then coupled with compound C using a Suzuki-type coupling (see Miyaura et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 1979, 3427; and Miyaura et al., Chem. Comm., 1979, 866) to provide the 3-substituted indazoles of formula F. The THP protecting group ofthe compounds of formula F can subsequently be removed via acid hydrolysis according to the procedure set forth in Robins et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc, 1961, 83:2574, to provide the Indazole Derviatives of Formula (II) wherein R1 is -CN and R3 is -O-(CH2)n-N(R4)2, -O-(CH2)n-heterocycle, -O-(CH2)n- cycloalkyl.

The 2-bromonaphtyl derivatives of formula J (which can be commerically available or if not commercially available, can be made from commercially available 2- bromonaphtyl derivatives using well-known synthetic organic chemistry methodology) can be converted to their boronic acid or ester derviatives, then coupled with compound C using a Suzuki-type coupling (see Miyaura et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 1979, 3427; and Miyaura et al., Chem. Comm., 1979, 866) to provide the 3-substituted indazoles of formula K. The THP protecting group ofthe compounds of formula K can subsequently be removed via acid hydrolysis according to the procedure set forth in Robins et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc, 1961, 83:2574, to provide the Indazole Derviatives of Formula (II) wherein R1 is -CN and R3, is as defined above for the compounds of Formula (II), and is other than -O-(CH2)n- N(R4)2, -O-(CH2)π-heterocycle, -O-(CH2)n-cycloalkyl. Alternatively, the -CN group ofthe compounds of formula K can be derivatized using well-known methodology prior to THP removal to provide the Indazole Derviatives of Formula (II) wherein R1 is other than -CN and R3 is other than -O-(CH2)n- N(R4)2, -O- (CH2)n- heterocycle, or -O-(CH2)n-cycloalkyl. Scheme 5 shows a method useful for making the Indazole Derviatives of Formula (I), (Ia) or (Ib)wherein R4 is other than -O-(CH2)n- N(R4)2, -O-(CH2)n- heterocycle, or -O-(CH2)n-cycloalkyl. Scheme 5
Figure imgf000054_0001
wherein R1 is as defined above for the Indazole Compounds of Formula (I), (Ia) or (lb) and R3 is as defined above for the Indazole Compounds of Formula (I), (Ia) or (lb) other than -O-(CH2)n- N(R4)2, -O-(CH2)n-heterocycle, or -O-(CH2)n-cycloalkyl. The compounds of formula K can also be treated with HCI in ethanol to provide the imidate intermediates of formula L which are then reacted with a compound of formula H in the presence of triethylamine to provide the corresponding 5-triazolyl derivatives to provide the compounds of Formula (I), (Ia) or (lb) wherein R and R3 are as defined above for the compounds of Formula (I), (Ia) or (lb) and R3 is other than -O- (CH2)n- N(R4)2, -O-(CH2)n-heterocycle, or -O-(CH2)n-cycloalkyl. It should be noted that the above synthetic schemes can be used to prepare Indazole Compounds wherein the naphthalenyl or quinolinyl ring is substituted at any available position (e.g., those of formula (Ic), (Id) or (le)) by using the appropriately substituted starting material. An Indazole Compound can be in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a free base. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts ofthe Indazole Compounds can be formed from organic and inorganic acids. Suitable non-toxic acids include, but are not limited to, inorganic and organic acids such as acetic, alginic, anthranilic, benzenesulfonic, benzoic, camphorsulfonic, citric, ethenesulfonic, formic, fumaric, furoic, galacturonic, gluconic, glucuronic, glutamic, glycolic, hydrobromic, hydrochloric, isethionic, lactic, maleic, malic, mandelic, mefhanesulfonic, mucic, nitric, pamoic, pantothenic, phenylacetic, phosphoric, propionic, salicylic, stearic, succinic, sulfanilic, sulfuric, tartaric acid, and p-toluenesulfonic acid. Specific non-toxic acids include hydrochloric, hydrobromic, phosphoric, sulfuric, and methanesulfonic acids. The Indazole Compounds can also be used in the form of base addition salts. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts for the Indazole Compounds include, but are not limited to metallic salts made from aluminum, calcium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc or organic salts made from lysine, N,N'-dibenzylefhylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, efhylenediamine, meglumine (N-methylglucamine) and procaine. Examples of specific salts thus include hydrochloride and mesylate salts. Others are well-known in the art, see for example, Remington 's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th eds., Mack Publishing, Easton PA (1990) or Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 19th eds., Mack Publishing, Easton PA (1995). Thus, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" of an Indazole Compound is intended to encompass any and all acceptable salt forms. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of this invention may be formed by conventional and known techniques, such as by reacting a compound of this invention with a suitable acid as disclosed above. Such salts are typically formed in high yields at moderate temperatures, and often are prepared by merely isolating the compound from a suitable acidic wash in the final step ofthe synthesis. The salt- forming acid may dissolved in an appropriate organic solvent, or aqueous organic solvent, such as an alkanol, ketone or ester. On the other hand, if the Indazole Compound is desired in the free base form, it can be isolated from a basic final wash step, according to known techniques. For example, a typical technique for preparing hydrochloride salt is to dissolve the free base in a suitable solvent, and dry the solution thoroughly, as over molecular sieves, before bubbling hydrogen chloride gas through it. 4.4 USES OF THE INDAZOLE COMPOUNDS In one embodiment, the invention relates to methods for treating or preventing cancer, a cardiovascular disease, a renal disease, an autoimmune condition, an inflammatory condition, macular degeneration, pain and related syndromes, disease- related wasting, an asbestos-related condition, pulmonary hypertension or a condition treatable or preventable by inhibition ofthe JNK pathway, comprising administering an effective amount of an Indazole Compound to a patient in need ofthe treating or preventing.

The Indazole Compounds are also useful for treating or preventing ischemia / reperfusion injury in general. Accordingly, the Aminopurine Compounds are useful for treating or preventing acute or chronic organ transplant rejection and for the preservation of tissue and organs.
4.4.1 TREATMENT OR PREVENTION OF PROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS A proliferative disorder can be treated or prevented by administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an Indazole Compound. Proliferative disorders that can be treated or prevented by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an Indazole Compound include, but are not limited to cancer, uterine fibroids, benign prostatic hypeφlasia, familial adenomatosis polyposis, neuro-fϊbromatosis, atherosclerosis, pulmonary fibrosis, arthritis, psoriasis, glomerulonephritis, restenosis following angioplasty or vascular surgery, hypertrophic scar formation, inflammatory bowel disease, transplantation rejection, endotoxic shock, fungal infections, and defective apoptosis-associated conditions.
4.4.2 TREATMENT OR PREVENTION OF CANCER Cancer can be treated or prevented by administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an Indazole Compound. In a majority of cancers, overexpression and/or hyperactivation of a variety of protein kinases, such as receptor and non-receptor kinases, serine/threonine kinases, PI3 kinases and cell cycle-associated kinases is common. Several of these kinases, either alone or in conjunction with other kinases have been implicated in numerous processes important for cell survival, proliferation, growth and malignant transformation, motility and invasion leading to metastasis and angiogenesis. In some instances, inhibition of a single kinase or a single cell transduction pathway may not be sufficient to elicit a desirable therapeutic effect. Without being bound by theory, the simultaneous inhibition of various kinases may be useful for treating or preventing proliferative disorders, such as cancer. Compounds that simultaneously inhibit more than one kinase are commonly referred to as "mixed kinase inhibitors." As such, mixed kinase inhibitors may be useful for the simultaneous inhibition of various kinases which are responsible for a variety of cellular processes, including proliferation, growth, motility, and invasiveness. Therefore, the Indazole Compounds, which can act as mixed kinase inhibitors, are be useful for the treatment of cancer or other proliferative diseases. The Indazole Compounds can also be administered to prevent progression to a neoplastic or malignant state, including but not limited to the cancers listed in Table 1. Such prophylactic use is indicated in conditions known or suspected of preceding progression to neoplasia or cancer, in particular, where non-neoplastic cell growth consisting of hypeφlasia, metaplasia, or most particularly, dysplasia has occurred (for review of such abnormal growth conditions, see Robbins and Angell, 1976, Basic Pathology, 2d Ed., W.B. Saunders Co., Philadelphia, pp. 68-79). Hypeφlasia is a form of controlled cell proliferation involving an increase in cell number in a tissue or organ, without significant alteration in structure or function. For example, endometrial hypeφlasia often precedes endometrial cancer and precancerous colon polyps often transform into cancerous lesions. Metaplasia is a form of controlled cell growth in which one type of adult or fully differentiated cell substitutes for another type of adult cell. Metaplasia can occur in epithelial or connective tissue cells. A typical metaplasia involves a somewhat disorderly metaplastic epithelium. Dysplasia is frequently a forerunner of cancer, and is found mainly in the epithelia; it is the most disorderly form of non-neoplastic cell growth, involving a loss in individual cell uniformity and in the architectural orientation of cells. Dysplastic cells often have abnormally large, deeply stained nuclei, and exhibit pleomoφhism. Dysplasia characteristically occurs where there exists chronic irritation or inflammation, and is often found in the cervix, respiratory passages, oral cavity, and gall bladder. Alternatively or in addition to the presence of abnormal cell growth characterized as hypeφlasia, metaplasia, or dysplasia, the presence of one or more characteristics of a transformed phenotype, or of a malignant phenotype, displayed in vivo or displayed in vitro by a cell sample from a patient, can indicate the desirability of prophylactic/therapeutic administration ofthe composition ofthe invention. Such characteristics of a transformed phenotype include moφhology changes, looser substratum attachment, loss of contact inhibition, loss of anchorage dependence, protease release, increased sugar transport, decreased serum requirement, expression of fetal antigens, disappearance ofthe 250,000 dalton cell surface protein, etc. (see also id., at pp. 84-90 for characteristics associated with a transformed or malignant phenotype). In a specific embodiment, leukoplakia, a benign-appearing hypeφlastic or dysplastic lesion ofthe epithelium, or Bowen's disease, a carcinoma in situ, are pre- neoplastic lesions indicative ofthe desirability of prophylactic intervention. In another embodiment, fibrocystic disease (cystic hypeφlasia, mammary dysplasia, particularly adenosis (benign epithelial hypeφlasia)) is indicative ofthe desirability of prophylactic intervention. The prophylactic use ofthe compounds and methods ofthe present invention are also indicated in some viral infections that may lead to cancer. For example, human papilloma virus can lead to cervical cancer (see, e.g., Hernandez- Avila et al, Archives of Medical Research (1997) 28:265-271), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can lead to lymphoma (see, e.g., Herrmann et al, J Pafhol (2003) 199(2): 140-5), hepatitis B or C virus can lead to liver carcinoma (see, e.g., El-Serag, J Clin Gastroenterol (2002) 35(5 Suppl 2):S72-8), human T cell leukemia virus (HTLV)-I can lead to T-cell leukemia (see e.g., Mortreux et al, Leukemia (2003) 17(l):26-38), human heφesvirus-8 infection can lead to Kaposi's sarcoma (see, e.g., Kadow et al, Curr Opin Investig Drugs (2002) 3(11):1574-9), and Human Immune deficiency Virus (HIV) infection contribute to cancer development as a consequence of immunodeficiency (see, e.g., Dal Maso et al, Lancet Oncol (2003) 4(2): 110-9). In other embodiments, a patient which exhibits one or more ofthe following predisposing factors for malignancy can treated by administration ofthe compounds or methods ofthe invention: a chromosomal translocation associated with a malignancy (e.g., the Philadelphia chromosome for chronic myelogenous leukemia, t(14;18) for follicular lymphoma, etc.), familial polyposis or Gardner's syndrome (possible forerunners of colon cancer), benign monoclonal gammopathy (a possible forerunner of multiple myeloma), a first degree kinship with persons having a cancer or precancerous disease showing a Mendelian (genetic) inheritance pattern (e.g., familial polyposis ofthe colon, Gardner's syndrome, hereditary exostosis, polyendocrine adenomatosis, medullary thyroid carcinoma with amyloid production and pheochromocytoma, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, neurofibromatosis of Von Recklinghausen, retinoblastoma, carotid body rumor, cutaneous melanocarcinoma, intraocular melanocarcinoma, xeroderma pigmentosum, ataxia telangiectasia, Chediak- Higashi syndrome, albinism, Fanconi's aplastic anemia, and Bloom's syndrome; see Robbins and Angell, 1976, Basic Pathology, 2d Ed., W.B. Saunders Co., Philadelphia, pp. 112-113) etc.), and exposure to carcinogens (e.g., smoking, and inhalation of or contacting with certain chemicals). In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides methods for treating cancer, including but not limited to: killing a cancer cell or neoplastic cell; inhibiting the growth of a cancer cell or neoplastic cell; inhibiting the replication of a cancer cell or neoplastic cell; or ameliorating a symptom thereof, the methods comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an amount ofthe Indazole Compounds effective to treat cancer. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for treating cancer, said method comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an amount of an Indazole Compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, said amount sufficient to treat cancer. In another embodiment, the invention provides a method for treating cancer, said method comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition comprising an amount of an Indazole Compound effective to treat cancer. In a specific embodiment, the patient in need of treatment has previously undergone treatment for cancer. Such previous treatments include, but are not limited to, prior chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, or immunofherapy, such as cancer vaccines. Cancers that can be treated with the Indazole Compounds and methods of the Invention include, but are not limited to, cancers disclosed below in Table 1 and metastases thereof.

4.4.2.1 MULTI-MODALITY THERAPY FOR CANCER The Indazole Compounds can be administered to a patient that has undergone or is currently undergoing one or more additional anticancer treatment modalities including, but not limited to, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery or immunotherapy, such as cancer vaccines. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods for treating cancer comprising (a) administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutic amount of an Indazole Compound ofthe invention; and (b) administering to said patient one or more additional anticancer treatment modalities including, but not limited to, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery or immunotherapy, such as a cancer vaccine. In one embodiment, the administering of step (a) is done prior to the administering of step (b). In another embodiement, the administering of step (a) is done subsequent to the administering of step (b). In still another embodiment, the administering of step (a) is done concurrently with the administering of step (b). In one embodiment, the additional anticancer treatment modality is chemotherapy. In another embodiment, the additional anticancer treatment modality is surgery. In yet another embodiment, the additional anticancer treatment modality is radiation therapy. In still another embodiment, the additional anticancer treatment modality is immunotherapy, such as cancer vaccines. The Indazole Compound and the additional treament modalities ofthe combination therapies ofthe invention can act additively or synergistically (i.e., the combination of an Indazole Compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an additional anticancer treatment modality is more effective than their additive effects when each are administered alone). A synergistic combination permits the use of lower dosages ofthe Indazole Compound and/or the additional treatment modality and/or less frequent administration ofthe Indazole Compound and/or additional treatment modality to a patient with cancer. The ability to utilize lower dosages of an Indazole Compound and/or an additional treatment modality and/or to administer an Indazole Compound and said additional treament modality less frequently can reduce the toxicity associated with the administration of an Indazole Compound and/or the additional freatement modality to a patient without reducing the efficacy of an Indazole Compound and/or the additional freatement modality in the treatment of cancer. In addition, a synergistic effect can result in the improved efficacy ofthe treatment of cancer and/or the reduction of adverse or unwanted side effects associated with the administration of an Indazole Compound and/or an additional anticancer treatment modality as monotherapy. When the Indazole Compound and additional anticancer treatment modality are administered to a patient concurrently, the term "concurrently" is not limited to the administration of an Indazole Compound and an additional anticancer treatment modality at exactly the same time, but rather it is meant that they are administered to a patient in a sequence and within a time interval such that they can act synergistically to provide an increased benefit than if they were administered otherwise. For example, the Indazole Compounds may be administered at the same time or sequentially in any order at different points in time as an additional anticancer treament modality; however, if not administered at the same time, they should be administered sufficiently close in time so as to provide the desired therapeutic effect, preferably in a synergistic fashion.

In still another embodiment, the other therapeutic agent is a PDE4 inhibitor (e.g., roflumilast or rolipram). In another embodiment, the other therapeutic agent is an antihistamine (e.g., cyclizine, hydroxyzine, promethazine or diphenhydramine). In yet another embodiment, the other therapeutic agent is an anti-malarial (e.g., artemisinin, artemefher, artsunate, chloroquine phosphate, mefloquine hydrochloride, doxycycline hyclate, proguanil hydrochloride, atovaquone or halofantrine). In a further embodiment, the other therapeutic agent is drotrecogin alfa. 4.5 COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF ADMINISTRATION Pharmaceutical compositions and single unit dosage forms comprising an Indazole Compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable polymoφh, prodrug, salt, solvate, hydrate, or clathrate thereof, are also encompassed by the invention. Individual dosage forms ofthe invention may be suitable for oral, mucosal (including sublingual, buccal, rectal, nasal, or vaginal), parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, bolus injection, intraarterial, or intravenous), transdermal, or topical administration. Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms ofthe invention comprise an Indazole Compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug, polymoφh, salt, solvate, hydrate, or clathrate thereof. Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention typically also comprise one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. A particular pharmaceutical composition encompassed by this embodiment comprises an Indazole Compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable polymoφh, prodrug, salt, solvate, hydrate, or clathrate thereof, and at least one additional therapeutic agent. Examples of additional therapeutic agents include, but are not limited to: anti-cancer drugs and anti-inflammation therapies including, but not limited to, those listed above in Sections 4.4.2.1 and 4.4.8. Single unit dosage forms ofthe invention are suitable for oral, mucosal (e.g., nasal, sublingual, vaginal, buccal, or rectal), parenteral (e.g., subcutaneous, intravenous, bolus injection, intramuscular, or intraarterial), or transdermal administration to a patient. Examples of dosage forms include, but are not limited to: tablets; caplets; capsules, such as soft elastic gelatin capsules; cachets; troches; lozenges; dispersions; suppositories; ointments; cataplasms (poultices); pastes; powders; dressings; creams; plasters; solutions; patches; aerosols (e.g., nasal sprays or inhalers); gels; liquid dosage forms suitable for oral or mucosal administration to a patient, including suspensions (e.g., aqueous or non-aqueous liquid suspensions, oil-in-water emulsions, or a water-in-oil liquid emulsions), solutions, and elixirs; liquid dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration to a patient; and sterile solids (e.g., crystalline or amoφhous solids) that can be reconstituted to provide liquid dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration to a patient. The composition, shape, and type of dosage forms ofthe invention will typically vary depending on their use. For example, a dosage form used in the acute treatment of inflammation or a related disease may contain larger amounts of one or more ofthe active ingredients it comprises than a dosage form used in the chronic treatment ofthe same disease. Similarly, a parenteral dosage form may contain smaller amounts of one or more ofthe active ingredients it comprises than an oral dosage form used to treat the same disease or disorder. These and other ways in which specific dosage forms encompassed by this invention will vary from one another will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. See, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., Mack Publishing, Easton PA (1990). Typical pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms comprise one or more carriers, excipients or diluents. Suitable excipients are well known to those skilled in the art of pharmacy, and non-limiting examples of suitable excipients are provided herein. Whether a particular excipient is suitable for incoφoration into a pharmaceutical composition or dosage form depends on a variety of factors well known in the art including, but not limited to, the way in which the dosage form will be administered to a patient. For example, oral dosage forms such as tablets may contain excipients not suited for use in parenteral dosage forms. The suitability of a particular excipient may also depend on the specific active ingredients in the dosage form. This invention further encompasses anhydrous (e.g., <1% water) pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms comprising active ingredients, since water can facilitate the degradation of some compounds. For example, the addition of water (e.g., 5%) is widely accepted in the pharmaceutical arts as a means of simulating long-term storage in order to determine characteristics such as shelf-life or the stability of formulations over time. See, e.g., Jens T. Carstensen, Drug Stability: Principles & Practice, 2d. Ed., Marcel Dekker, NY, NY, 1995, pp. 379-80. In effect, water and heat accelerate the decomposition of some compounds. Thus, the effect of water on a formulation can be of great significance since moisture and/or humidity are commonly encountered during manufacture, handling, packaging, storage, shipment, and use of formulations. Anhydrous pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms ofthe invention can be prepared using anhydrous or low moisture containing ingredients and low moisture or low humidity conditions. Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms that comprise lactose and at least one active ingredient that comprises a primary or secondary amine are preferably anhydrous if substantial contact with moisture and/or humidity during manufacturing, packaging, and/or storage is expected. An anhydrous pharmaceutical composition should be prepared and stored such that its anhydrous nature is maintained. Accordingly, anhydrous compositions are preferably packaged using materials known to prevent exposure to water such that they can be included in suitable formulary kits. Examples of suitable packaging include, but are not limited to, hermetically sealed foils, plastics, unit dose containers (e.g., vials), blister packs, and strip packs. The invention further encompasses pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms that comprise one or more compounds that reduce the rate by which an active ingredient will decompose. Such compounds, which are referred to herein as "stabilizers," include, but are not limited to, antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, pH buffers, or salt buffers. Like the amounts and types of excipients, the amounts and specific types of active ingredients in a dosage form may differ depending on factors such as, but not limited to, the route by which it is to be administered to patients. However, typical dosage forms ofthe invention comprise an Indazole Compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, clathrate, hydrate, polymoprh or prodrug thereof lie within the range of from about 0.1 mg to about 2000 mg per day, given as a single once-a-day dose in the morning but preferably as divided doses throughout the day taken with food. More preferably, the daily dose is administered twice daily in equally divided doses. Preferably, a daily dose range should be from about 5 mg to about 500 mg per day, more preferably, between about 10 mg and about 200 mg per day. In managing the patient, the therapy should be initiated at a lower dose, perhaps about 1 mg to about 25 mg, and increased if necessary up to about 200 mg to about 2000 mg per day as either a single dose or divided doses, depending on the patient's global response. 4.5.1 ORAL DOSAGE FORMS Pharmaceutical compositions ofthe invention that are suitable for oral administration can be presented as discrete dosage forms, such as, but are not limited to, tablets (e.g., chewable tablets), caplets, capsules, and liquids (e.g., flavored syrups). Such dosage forms contain predetermined amounts of active ingredients, and may be prepared by methods of pharmacy well known to those skilled in the art. See generally, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., Mack Publishing, Easton PA (1990). Typical oral dosage forms ofthe invention are prepared by combining the active ingredient(s) in an intimate admixture with at least one excipient according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. Excipients can take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. For example, excipients suitable for use in oral liquid or aerosol dosage forms include, but are not limited to, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, and coloring agents. Examples of excipients suitable for use in solid oral dosage forms (e.g., powders, tablets, capsules, and caplets) include, but are not limited to, starches, sugars, micro-crystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, and disintegrating agents. In one embodiment, the oral dosage form consists of an effective amount of one or more Indazole Compounds in a capsule or caplet (i.e., without a carrier, diluent or excipient). Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit forms, in which case solid excipients are employed. If desired, tablets can be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques. Such dosage forms can be prepared by any ofthe methods of pharmacy. In general, pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredients with liquid carriers, finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then shaping the product into the desired presentation if necessary. For example, a tablet can be prepared by compression or molding. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredients in a free-flowing form such as powder or granules, optionally mixed with an excipient. Molded tablets can be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture ofthe powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. Examples of excipients that can be used in oral dosage forms ofthe invention include, but are not limited to, binders, fillers, disintegrants, and lubricants. Binders suitable for use in pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms include, but are not limited to, corn starch, potato starch, or other starches, gelatin, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, sodium alginate, alginic acid, other alginates, powdered fragacanth, guar gum, cellulose and its derivatives (e.g., ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, carboxymethyl cellulose calcium, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), polyvinyl pyrrolidone, methyl cellulose, pre-gelatinized starch, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, (e.g., Nos. 2208, 2906, 2910), microcrystalline cellulose, and mixtures thereof. Examples of fillers suitable for use in the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, talc, calcium carbonate (e.g., granules or powder), microcrystalline cellulose, powdered cellulose, dextrates, kaolin, mannitol, silicic acid, sorbitol, starch, pre-gelatinized starch, and mixtures thereof. The binder or filler in pharmaceutical compositions ofthe invention is typically present in from about 50 to about 99 weight percent ofthe pharmaceutical composition or dosage form. Suitable forms of microcrystalline cellulose include, but are not limited to, the materials sold as AVICEL-PH-101, AVICEL-PH-103 AVICEL RC-581, AVICEL-PH-105 (available from FMC Coφoration, American Viscose Division, Avicel Sales, Marcus Hook, PA), and mixtures thereof. An specific binder is a mixture of microcrystalline cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose sold as AVICEL RC- 581. Suitable anhydrous or low moisture excipients or additives include AVICEL-PH- 103™ and Starch 1500 LM. Disintegrants are used in the compositions ofthe invention to provide tablets that disintegrate when exposed to an aqueous environment. Tablets that contain too much disintegrant may disintegrate in storage, while those that contain too little may not disintegrate at a desired rate or under the desired conditions. Thus, a sufficient amount of disintegrant that is neither too much nor too little to detrimentally alter the release ofthe active ingredients should be used to form solid oral dosage forms ofthe invention. The amount of disintegrant used varies based upon the type of formulation, and is readily discernible to those of ordinary skill in the art. Typical pharmaceutical compositions comprise from about 0.5 to about 15 weight percent of disintegrant, specifically from about 1 to about 5 weight percent of disintegrant. Disintegrants that can be used in pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms ofthe invention include, but are not limited to, agar-agar, alginic acid, calcium carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone, polacrilin potassium, sodium starch glycolate, potato or tapioca starch, pre-gelatinized starch, other starches, clays, other algins, other celluloses, gums, and mixtures thereof. Lubricants that can be used in pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms ofthe invention include, but are not limited to, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, mineral oil, light mineral oil, glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol, polyethylene glycol, other glycols, stearic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, hydrogenated vegetable oil (e.g., peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, com oil, and soybean oil), zinc stearate, ethyl oleate, ethyl laureate, agar, and mixtures thereof. Additional lubricants include, for example, a syloid silica gel (AEROSIL 200, manufactured by W.R. Grace Co. of Baltimore, MD), a coagulated aerosol of synthetic silica (marketed by Degussa Co. of Piano, TX), CAB-O-SLL (a pyrogenic silicon dioxide product sold by Cabot Co. of Boston, MA), and mixtures thereof. If used at all, lubricants are typically used in an amount of less than about 1 weight percent ofthe pharmaceutical compositions or dosage forms into which they are incoφorated. 4.5.2 DELAYED RELEASE DOSAGE FORMS Active ingredients ofthe invention can be administered by controlled release means or by delivery devices that are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Examples include, but are not limited to, those described in U.S. Patent Nos.: 3,845,770; 3,916,899; 3,536,809; 3,598,123; and 4,008,719, 5,674,533, 5,059,595, 5,591,767, 5,120,548, 5,073,543, 5,639,476, 5,354,556, and 5,733,566, each of which is incoφorated herein by reference. Such dosage forms can be used to provide slow or controlled-release of one or more active ingredients using, for example, hydropropylmethyl cellulose, other polymer matrices, gels, permeable membranes, osmotic systems, multilayer coatings, microparticles, liposomes, microspheres, or a combination thereof to provide the desired release profile in varying proportions. Suitable controlled-release formulations known to those of ordinary skill in the art, including those described herein, can be readily selected for use with the active ingredients ofthe invention. The invention thus encompasses single unit dosage forms suitable for oral administration such as, but not limited to, tablets, capsules, gelcaps, and caplets that are adapted for controlled-release. Controlled-release pharmaceutical products can improve drug therapy over that achieved by their non-controlled counteφarts. Ideally, the use of an optimally designed controlled-release preparation in medical treatment is characterized by a minimum of drug substance being employed to cure or control the condition in a minimum amount of time. Advantages of controlled-release formulations include extended activity ofthe drug, reduced dosage frequency, and increased patient compliance. In addition, controlled-release formulations can be used to affect the time of onset of action or other characteristics, such as blood levels ofthe drug, and can thus affect the occurrence of side (e.g., adverse) effects. Most controlled-release formulations are designed to initially release an amount of drug (active ingredient) that promptly produces the desired therapeutic effect, and gradually and continually release of other amounts of drug to maintain this level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. In order to maintain this constant level of drug in the body, the drug must be released from the dosage form at a rate that will replace the amount of drug being metabolized and excreted from the body. Controlled-release of an active ingredient can be stimulated by various conditions including, but not limited to, pH, temperature, enzymes, water, or other physiological conditions or compounds. 4.5.3 PARENTERAL DOSAGE FORMS Parenteral dosage forms can be administered to patients by various routes including, but not limited to, subcutaneous, intravenous (including bolus injection), intramuscular, and intra-arterial. Because their administration typically bypasses patients' natural defenses against contaminants, parenteral dosage forms are preferably sterile or capable of being sterilized prior to administration to a patient. Examples of parenteral dosage forms include, but are not limited to, solutions ready for injection, dry products ready to be dissolved or suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle for injection, suspensions ready for injection, and emulsions. For example, lyophilized sterile compositions suitable for reconstitution into particulate-free dosage forms suitable for administration to humans. Suitable vehicles that can be used to provide parenteral dosage forms of the invention are well known to those skilled in the art. Examples include, but are not limited to: Water for Injection USP; aqueous vehicles such as, but not limited to, Sodium Chloride Injection, Ringer's Injection, Dextrose Injection, Dextrose and Sodium Chloride Injection, and Lactated Ringer's Injection; water-miscible vehicles such as, but not limited to, ethyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and polypropylene glycol; and non- aqueous vehicles such as, but not limited to, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, and benzyl benzoate. Compounds that increase the solubility of one or more ofthe active ingredients disclosed herein can also be incoφorated into the parenteral dosage forms of the invention. Parenteral dosage forms are preferred for the methods of preventing, treating or managing disease in a cancer patient. 4.5.4 TRANSDERMAL AND TOPICAL DOSAGE FORMS Transdermal and topical dosage forms ofthe invention include, but are not limited to, creams, lotions, ointments, gels, solutions, emulsions, suspensions, or other forms known to one of skill in the art. See, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th eds., Mack Publishing, Easton PA (1990); and Introduction to Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, 4th ed., Lea & Febiger, Philadelphia (1985). Transdermal dosage forms include "reservoir type" or "matrix type" patches, which can be applied to the skin and worn for a specific period of time to permit the penetration of a desired amount of active ingredients. Suitable excipients (e.g., carriers and diluents) and other materials that can be used to provide transdermal and topical dosage forms encompassed by this invention are well known to those skilled in the pharmaceutical arts, and depend on the particular tissue to which a given pharmaceutical composition or dosage form will be applied. With that fact in mind, typical excipients include, but are not limited to, water, acetone, ethanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butane- 1,3-diol, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, mineral oil, and mixtures thereof to form lotions, tinctures, creams, emulsions, gels or ointments, which are non-toxic and pharmaceutically acceptable. Moisturizers or humectants can also be added to pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms if desired. Examples of such additional ingredients are well known in the art. See, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th eds., Mack Publishing, Easton PA (1990). Depending on the specific tissue to be treated, additional components may be used prior to, in conjunction with, or subsequent to treatment with active ingredients ofthe invention. For example, penetration enhancers can be used to assist in delivering the active ingredients to the tissue. Suitable penetration enhancers include, but are not limited to: acetone; various alcohols such as ethanol, oleyl, and tetrahydrofuryl; alkyl sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide; dimethyl acetamide; dimethyl formamide; polyethylene glycol; pyrrolidones such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; Kollidon grades (Povidone, Polyvidone); urea; and various water-soluble or insoluble sugar esters such as Tween 80 (polysorbate 80) and Span 60 (sorbitan monostearate). The pH of a pharmaceutical composition or dosage form, or ofthe tissue to which the pharmaceutical composition or dosage form is applied, may also be adjusted to improve delivery of one or more active ingredients. Similarly, the polarity of a solvent carrier, its ionic strength, or tonicity can be adjusted to improve delivery. Compounds such as stearates can also be added to pharmaceutical compositions or dosage forms to advantageously alter the hydrophilicity or lipophilicity of one or more active ingredients so as to improve delivery. In this regard, stearates can serve as a lipid vehicle for the formulation, as an emulsifying agent or surfactant, and as a delivery- enhancing or penetration-enhancing agent. Different salts, hydrates or solvates ofthe active ingredients can be used to further adjust the properties ofthe resulting composition. 4.5.5 MUCOSAL DOSAGE FORMS AND LUNG DELIVERY Mucosal dosage forms ofthe invention include, but are not limited to, ophthalmic solutions, sprays and aerosols, or other forms known to one of skill in the art. See, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th eds., Mack Publishing, Easton PA (1990); and Introduction to Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, 4th ed., Lea & Febiger, Philadelphia (1985). Dosage forms suitable for treating mucosal tissues within the oral cavity can be formulated as mouthwashes or as oral gels. In one embodiment, the aerosol comprises a carrier. In another embodiment, the aerosol is carrier free. An Indazole Compound can also be administered directly to the lung by inhalation (see e.g., Tong et al., PCT Application, WO 97/39745; Clark et al, PCT Application, WO 99/47196, which are herein incoφorated by reference). For administration by inhalation, an Indazole Compound can be conveniently delivered to the lung by a number of different devices. For example, a Metered Dose Inhaler ("MDI") which utilizes canisters that contain a suitable low boiling propellant, e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas can be used to deliver an Indazole Compound directly to the lung. MDI devices are available from a number of suppliers such as 3M Coφoration, Aventis, Boehringer Ingleheim, Forest Laboratories, Glaxo- Wellcome, Schering Plough and Vecrura. Alternatively, a Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) device can be used to administer an Indazole Compound to the lung (See, e.g., Raleigh et al., Proc. Amer. Assoc. Cancer Research Annual Meeting, 1999, 40, 397, which is herein incoφorated by reference). DPI devices typically use a mechanism such as a burst of gas to create a cloud of dry powder inside a container, which can then be inhaled by the patient. DPI devices are also well known in the art and can be purchased from a number of vendors which include, for example, Fisons, Glaxo-Wellcome, Inhale Therapeutic Systems, ML Laboratories, Qdose and Vectura. A popular variation is the multiple dose DPI ("MDDPI") system, which allows for the delivery of more than one therapeutic dose. MDDPI devices are available from companies such as AstraZeneca, Glaxo Wellcome, F/AX, Schering Plough, SkyePharma and Vectura. For example, capsules and cartridges of gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator can be formulated containing a powder mix ofthe compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch for these systems. Another type of device that can be used to deliver an Indazole Compound to the lung is a liquid spray device supplied, for example, by Aradigm Coφoration. Liquid spray systems use extremely small nozzle holes to aerosolize liquid drug formulations that can then be directly inhaled into the lung. In a preferred embodiment, a nebulizer device is used to deliver an Indazole Compound to the lung. Nebulizers create aerosols from liquid drug formulations by using, for example, ultrasonic energy to form fine particles that can be readily inhaled (See e.g., Verschoyle et al., British J Cancer, 1999, 80, Suppl 2, 96, which is herein incoφorated by reference). Examples of nebulizers include devices supplied by Sheffield/Systemic Pulmonary Delivery Ltd. (See, Armer et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,954,047; van der Linden et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,950,619; van der Linden et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,970,974, which are herein incoφorated by reference), Aventis and Batelle Pulmonary Therapeutics. Inhaled compound ofthe invention, delivered by nebulizer devices, is currently under investigation as a treatment for aerodigestive cancer (Engelke et al., Poster 342 at American Association of Cancer Research, San Francisco, Calif, Apr. 1-5, 2000) and lung cancer (Dahl et al., Poster 524 at American Association of Cancer Research, San Francisco, Calif, April 1-5, 2000). In a particularly preferred embodiment, an electrohydrodynamic ("EHD") aerosol device is used to deliver an Indazole Compound to the lung. EHD aerosol devices use electrical energy to aerosolize liquid drug solutions or suspensions (see e.g., Noakes et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,765,539; Coffee, U.S. Pat. No., 4,962,885; Coffee, PCT Application, WO 94/12285; Coffee, PCT Application, WO 94/14543; Coffee, PCT Application, WO 95/26234, Coffee, PCT Application, WO 95/26235, Coffee, PCT Application, WO 95/32807, which are herein incoφorated by reference). The electrochemical properties ofthe compound ofthe invention formulation may be important parameters to optimize when delivering this drug to the lung with an EHD aerosol device and such optimization is routinely performed by one of skill in the art. EHD aerosol devices may more efficiently delivery drugs to the lung than existing pulmonary delivery technologies. Other methods of intra-pulmonary delivery of an Indazole Compound will be known to the skilled artisan and are within the scope ofthe invention. Liquid drug formulations suitable for use with nebulizers and liquid spray devices and EHD aerosol devices will typically include an Indazole Compound with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Preferably, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is a liquid such as alcohol, water, polyethylene glycol or a perfluorocarbon. Optionally, another material may be added to alter the aerosol properties ofthe solution or suspension of an Indazole Compound. Preferably, this material is liquid such as an alcohol, glycol, polyglycol or a fatty acid. Other methods of formulating liquid drug solutions or suspension suitable for use in aerosol devices are known to those of skill in the art (See, e.g., Biesalski, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,112,598; Biesalski, 5,556,611, which are herein incoφorated by reference). An Indazole Compound can also be formulated in rectal or vaginal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g., containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides. In addition to the formulations described previously, an Indazole Compound can also be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long acting formulations can be administered by implantation (for example subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Thus, for example, the compounds can be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example, as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt. Alternatively, other pharmaceutical delivery systems can be employed. Liposomes and emulsions are well known examples of delivery vehicles that can be used to deliver an Indazole Compound. Certain organic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide can also be employed, although usually at the cost of greater toxicity. An Indazole Compound can also be delivered in a controlled release system. In one embodiment, a pump can be used (Sefton, CRC Crit. Ref Biomed Eng., 1987, 14, 201; Buchwald et al.,
Surgery, 1980, 88, 507; Saudek et al., N. Engl. J Med, 1989, 321, 574). In another embodiment, polymeric materials can be used (see Medical Applications of Controlled
Release, Langer and Wise (eds.), CRC Pres., Boca Raton, Fla. (1974); Controlled Drug
Bioavailability, Drug Product Design and Performance, Smolen and Ball (eds.), Wiley,
New York (1984); Ranger and Peppas, J Macromol. Sci. Rev. Macromol. Chem., 1983,
23, 61; see also Levy et al., Science 1985, 228, 190; During et al., Ann. Neurol.,
1989,25,351; Howard et al., 1989, J. Neurosurg. 71, 105). In yet another embodiment, a controlled-release system can be placed in proximity ofthe target ofthe compounds of the invention, e.g., the lung, thus requiring only a fraction ofthe systemic dose (see, e.g.,
Goodson, in Medical Applications of Controlled Release, supra, vol. 2, pp. 115 (1984)).
Other controlled-release system can be used (see e.g., Langer, Science, 1990, 249, 1527). Suitable excipients (e.g., carriers and diluents) and other materials that can be used to provide mucosal dosage forms encompassed by this invention are well known to those skilled in the pharmaceutical arts, and depend on the particular site or method which a given pharmaceutical composition or dosage form will be administered.
With that fact in mind, typical excipients include, but are not limited to, water, ethanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butane- 1,3-diol, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, mineral oil, and mixtures thereof, which are non-toxic and pharmaceutically acceptable. Examples of such additional ingredients are well known in the art. See, e.g.,
Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th eds., Mack Publishing, Easton PA (1990). The pH of a pharmaceutical composition or dosage form, or ofthe tissue to which the pharmaceutical composition or dosage form is applied, can also be adjusted to improve delivery of one or more active ingredients. Similarly, the polarity of a solvent carrier, its ionic strength, or tonicity can be adjusted to improve delivery. Compounds such as stearates can also be added to pharmaceutical compositions or dosage forms to advantageously alter the hydrophilicity or lipophilicity of one or more active ingredients so as to improve delivery. In this regard, stearates can serve as a lipid vehicle for the formulation, as an emulsifying agent or surfactant, and as a delivery- enhancing or penetration-enhancing agent. Different salts, hydrates or solvates ofthe active ingredients can be used to further adjust the properties ofthe resulting composition. The present invention is not to be limited in scope by the specific embodiments disclosed in the examples which are intended as illustrations of a few aspects ofthe invention and any embodiments that are functionally equivalent are within the scope of this invention. Indeed, various modifications ofthe invention in addition to those shown and described herein will become apparent to those skilled in the art and are intended to fall within the scope ofthe appended claims. It should be noted that one or more hydrogen atoms or methyl groups may be omitted from the drawn structures consistent with accepted shorthand notation of such organic compounds, and that one skilled in the art of organic chemistry would readily appreciate their presence.

Natl. Acad. Sci., 98:13681-13686 (2001). ATP was at 3 times the Km for the relevant kinase. Inhibition ofthe following kinases was monitored by the transfer of radio- labeled phosphate from ATP to a specific substrate peptide and capture ofthe peptide on P81 charged filter paper: AKT1, AKT2, and SGK. ATP was at the Km for the relevant kinase. Activities for LRTK, ABL, and SRC were monitored by transfer of phosphate from ATP to a biotinylated peptide substrate and detection ofthe phosphorylated peptide using the LANCE technology (Perkin Elmer). ATP was at 3 times the Km for the relevant kinase. Example 145 Serine/Threonine Kinase TCA Precipitation and SPA Assays rKKl(his6), IKK2(his6, S177E.S181E), JNKl(his6), JNK2(his6), . JNK3(his6), p38-2(gst), MEK6(gst), and MKK3(gst) were produced in house by expression in bacteria and purification by affinity tag chromatography. PKA α-catalytic subunit (BIOMOL SE-122), PKC-α (BIOMOL SE-143), MAP Kinase 1/ERK1 (Upstate Biotechnology 14-188) were purchased, and PKC-Θ (his6) was from Byk-Gulden. All kinase assays were carried out using ATP at a final concentration of three fold the apparent Km. Kinases were diluted in DB (20 mM HEPES pH 7.6, 0.1 mM EDTA, 2.5 mM MgCl2, 0.004%(w/v) Triton XI 00, 2 μg/ml Leupeptin, 20 mM β-glycerol phosphate, 0.1 mM Na3VO , 2 mM dithiothreitol) and mixed with the appropriate substrate to give the following final concentrations: 50 μg/ml IκBα(gst,l-54), (rKKl(his6), EKK2(his6, S177E.S181E)); 100 μg/ml c-Jun(gst,l-79), (JNKl(his6), JNK2(his6); JNK3(his6)), 100 μg/ml ATF2(gst), (p38-2(gst)), 50 μg/ml p38(gst), (MKK6); 100 μg/ml p38(gst,K108M), (MKK3); 100 μg/ml myelin basic protein (Upstate Biotechnology 13- 104; PKA, ERK1, PKC-α) in HBB (20 mM HEPES pH 7.6, 50 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 2.5 mM MgCl2, 0.05%(w/v) Triton XI 00).

Enzyme, substrate and compound were allowed to equilibrate at room temperature for 15 minutes. IKKl(his6) and rKK2EE(his6), reactions were started by addition of 1/10th volume ATP in kinase buffer A (20 mM HEPES pH 7.6, 20 mM MgCl2, 20 mM MnCl2, 0.06%(w/v) Triton XI 00, 60 mM β-glycerol phosphate, 60 mM NaF, 6 mM dithiothreitol, 6 mM benzamidine, 48 mM para-nitrophenyl phosphate, 50 μCi/ml 33P-ATP). JNKl(his6), JNK2(his6), JNK3(his6), p38-2(gst), MEK(gst), and MKK3(gst) reactions were started by addition of 1/10th volume ATP in kinase buffer B (130 mM MgCl2, 6 mM dithiothreitol, 150 mM para-nitrophenyl phosphate, 50 μCi/ml 33P-ATP). For all enzymes except PKC-θ(his6) reactions were allowed to proceed for 60 minutes before quenching via precipitation with trichloroacetic acid at a final concentration of 7.2% for 30 minutes. Reaction products were collected onto glass microfilter (Millipore MAHF CIH60) 96-well plates using a Packard Filtermate, washed with Phosphate Buffered Saline and quantified by scintillation counting using a Packard Topcount. PKC-θ(his6) reactions were allowed to progress for 60 minuted before being terminated by addition of an equal volume of 1.33mg/ml SPA beads suspended in 22.5 mM ATP, 0.12% Triton X100 and 6 mM EGTA. The SPA beads were allowed to equilibrate for one hour and the reaction product read using a Packard Topcount. ATP competition studies for JNK2 were carried out using the same procedure except that ATP was used at 3 and 30 fold the Km. Reversibility assays for JNK2 were carried out under essentially the same conditions, however kinase was prebound to Ni2+ chelate plates (Pierce 15242). Bound kinase was preincubated with compound in DB:HBB (2:3) plus 2% DMSO, for 30 minutes at room temperature. The Ni2+ plates were washed and compound eluted with three volumes HBB. Kinase reactions were started by addition of substrate and ATP and allowed to progress (with harvest and quantification) under conditions identical to the TCA precipitation assay described above. Controls contained compound during the reaction step. Example 146 Tyrosine Kinase TRF assays Zap70, Lck, and Lyn were provided by Pliva and EGFR was from BIOMOL (SE-116).

Lck, Lyn, and EGFR kinase assays were carried out with ATP at a final concentration of three fold the apparent Km, in 25 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 10 mM MgC12, 10 mM MnC12, 0.2 mM DTT, 0.2% Tween 20, 2% DMSO, 1% BSA and 300 ng/ml Europium labeled anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (Wallac AD0038). Kinases were preincubated with compound for 15 minutes prior to starting the reaction by addition of ATP. Reactions were allowed to progress for 60 minutes. Plates were washed with 6 times with Phosphate Buffered Saline, 0.1% Triton XI 00 followed by addition of 100 Dl/well Enhancement Solution (Wallac 1244- 105). Europium TRF was quantified on a Wallac Victor fluorimeter. Zap70 kinase reactions were carried out under the same conditions except that antibody and BSA were omitted. Plates were washed 3 times with Tris Buffered Saline, 0.02% Tween 20, blocked with Tris Buffered Saline, 3% BSA and incubated with Europium labeled anti- phosphotyrosine antibody (Wallac AD0038) in Tris Buffered Saline, 1% BSA, 0.02% Tween 20 for 30 min. Final washes and quantification were as described for Lck, Lyn and EGFR.
